Both GABA and L-theanine are supplements you can purchase over the counter. There are literally hundreds of others, some natural and some not. Our site policy is that we don't allow for advice to be given out about usage of medicines or supplements as it would be considered medical advice. Even OTC supplements can have unintended side effects.

The real bottom line though is that there is no "Magic Pill" that will eliminate cravings. There are some prescribed meds you can talk to your doctor about that can sometimes help - but they don't always work and they are designed to be used in conjunction with a sobriety plan/regimen/program.
